Weekend Watch

So mom and Dad L visited some friends in Florida for a wonderful weekend, Popeye and I watched the kids. Saturday morning we all went garage selling... which was the first time since married life... and was wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed it and much thanks to mom's new GPS system we only went in semi-circles instead of full ones :O) Much to the kids disappointment we didn't stumble across 'the mother load'. (You know, the garage sell with almost every toy imaginable!) They, instead, got some gum at Walmart.

On Sunday after church we went to a local plantation that was having a family day. Although we got in free only due to our gracious ticket lady who was collecting colored pictures for tickets (which we had none). Apparently, the kids were supposed to color a horse picture found online in order to get in free and Popeye and I were supposed to pay. Not knowing much about the event, we didn't bring any money and no coloring pictures. Praise the Lord for our ticket lady!

We had fun at the event though. There was a short pet parade, a calvary drill, trained retrieving dogs, puppeteer, and crafts. R even 'bobbed' for an apple which she then got to eat as a free snack. The best part, though, was just walking around outside. We are experiencing my favorite time of the year and this weather is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Absolutely perfect. Everyone... NOW is the time to visit :O)
